If you're a mainframe person, you'll love this one

I'm in a five day meeting in Poughkeepsie, the land of System z, all of this week. We listened to a session today about virtualization on the mainframe. Virtualization is a really new concept that has just recently been getting a lot of press.
"NOT" IBM started doing what is virtualization well over 30 years ago with a little operating system called VM. I still remember giving every student their own virtual machine (guest machine) running their own MVS and their very own DB2. Now that's virtualization. And we're still doing it today, bigger and better, with Linux running under no other than z/VM using an IFL. Even IBM is jumping in on the act doing what they have been telling everyone else to do. They're consolidating thousands of servers to a bunch of z9 servers. Check out my post
"Who is moving 3,900 computer servers to about 30 Mainframes?". In fact, speaking of virtualization and all the press about it lately, I thought I would dig up an oldie but goodie IBM commercial that's still out on YouTube.com. It tells the "out of control" server story so well.
Well, that's it for now. And as always, thank you for stopping by and thanks for your continued support Willie
